Structural business statistics

Official statistics of Sweden

Upcoming publishing: 2025-11-12

The purpose of Structural Business Statistics is to illuminate the structure of the business sector (excluding the financial and public sectors as well as households’ non-profit organisations) with regard to primarily profitability, growth, development, financing and production. The area of use is to provide answers to macro-economic questions, with regard to levels as well as over time.

As of reference year 2022 and onwards, new statistical units will be used in the SBS. The focus will be on enterprise units, kind-of-activity units and local kind-of-activity units. The enterprise units are created through profiling, which has its starting point in the Swedish part of an enterprise group. The new statistical units will lead to larger discrepancies in the published data (when comparing enterprise unit with kind-of-activity unit). Key ratios will still be published based on legal units.
